For the Allies it was an enormous triumph and for Nazi Germany it was another Stalingrad. But 80 years on, the battle for Tunisia is barely mentioned in popular accounts of the Second World War, having been totally eclipsed by the iconic clashes in Europe and the Pacific. In his new book, Tunisgrad, military historian Saul David seeks to redress the balance, arguing that this north African campaign was one of the three biggest turning points of the entire war. In conversation with Rob Attar, he explains why. (Ad) Saul David is the author of Tunisgrad: Victory in Africa (HarperCollins, 2025).

By late 1942, after the success of Operation Torch, the Allies had finally gained a foothold in North Africa. What followed was a hard-fought and often overlooked campaign in Tunisia. For six months, British, American, and French forces battled determined Axis troops for control of the last corner of Africa held by Germany and Italy. It was a campaign marked by tough lessons, uneasy cooperation, and moments of heroism — one that would shape how the Allies fought together for the rest of the war. In this episode, I'm joined by historian and author Saul David to discuss his latest book, 'Tunisgrad: How the Allies Won North Africa and Set the Stage for D-Day'. Saul brings to life the soldiers, commanders, and decisions that defined the Tunisia campaign and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. patreon.com/ww2podcast

Since 2014 more than 32,000 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe. As the EU and its member states have been increasingly prioritising migration deterrence over human life, civic organisations have stepped in and are carrying out search and rescue operations. SOS Humanity is one of these organisations. Janna Sauerteig joins us to talk about the work SOS Humanity and other civilian search and rescue organisations do, the obstacles they face from member states and the EU, the role of the so-called “Libyan Coast Guard”, the ways in which deadly policies are part of the European global and democratic crisis, and possible solutions. The data about deaths in the Mediterranean mentioned in the podcast are from the Missing Migrants Project. We also mentioned the evidence that migrants and even Black residents are rounded up from North African cities and dumped in the desert; this is from a 2024 investigation by El Pais (in Spanish) and Lighthouse Reports (in English). Transcript of episode here. Guest: Janna Sauerteig is Mobilization and Advocacy Manager at SOS Humanity. Their latest report “Borders of (In)humanity”, published this May, demonstrates the connection between the EU's migration externalisation policies and human rights violations in the Central Mediterranean, namely through EU and bilateral cooperation with Libya and Tunisia in the field of search and rescue. The report is based on survivors' testimonies which collected by SOS Humanity. Presenter: Licia Cianetti is Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham and Founding Deputy Director of CEDAR. The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world. It is brought to you by the Centre for Elections, Democracy, Accountability and Representation (CEDAR) based at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 219: Moroccan Publishing, Cultural Decolonization, and the Book Revolution: The Souffles Experience, 1966-1971 During the 1960s and 1970s, Morocco was a center for the invention of cultural decolonization and a key site in the twentieth-century book revolution. A group of young poets, novelists, critics, painters, and photographers created a cluster of publications, whose centerpiece was the magazine Souffles, and linked their publishing projects to ideas about national cultural decolonization on a global scale. The magazines, paperbacks, chapbooks, and posters they made have loomed large in the landscapes of postcolonial francophone literature and Moroccan modernist art for nearly six decades. The Souffles story also highlights the key roles of print media and cultural institutions for mid-twentieth-century discussions about the end of empire. Important and underexplored primary sources relating to these publishing projects exist in the collections of Moroccan libraries and booksellers. In this episode, Alexander Baert Young, Ph.D. candidate in history at Johns Hopkins University and 2023 AIMS/TALIM fellow, presents research he completed in Morocco during June-July 2023 at the Bibliothèque Nationale du Royaume du Maroc, in the library of the Ecole des Sciences de l'Information, and at used book dealers in Rabat and Tangier. Alexander Baert Young is a historian whose work connects book history, African history, and French history. As a Ph.D. candidate in the history department at Johns Hopkins University, Young is currently researching and writing his dissertation, “Africa's Book Revolution: Print Culture, Decolonization, and Development, 1954-1988,” a multi-site project that will tell the connected stories of African publishers, librarians, bibliographers, cultural development experts, and media theorists across Morocco, Tunisia, Cameroon, Senegal, France, and beyond. His research draws on published paperbacks, little magazines, book fair catalogues, media studies and library science scholarship, and bibliographies, as well as archives of nation-states, international organizations, publishing companies, libraries, and writers. Young's work has received support from the American Institute for Maghrib Studies (including the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies and the Centre d'Etudes Maghrébines à Tunis), the Western Society for French History, and the Bourse Jeanne Marandon of the Société des Professeurs Français et Francophones d'Amérique. During June-July 2023, he conducted research in Morocco as an AIMS/TALIM fellow.

Esmeralda Colabone has dedicated herself to Arab dance and culture since 1999. From 2002 to 2014 she worked with Belly Dance Brazil and Lebanon's famed La Maison de L'Artiste, becoming the agency's youngest dancer at 19 and spending 12 years performing across the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, and Lebanon. She was the first Brazilian to tour the Maghreb and held one of Tunisia's longest foreign dance contracts—experiences that shaped her both artistically and personally. After her “Enta Omri” video went viral in 2015, her influence spread worldwide. She helped popularize Lebanese style globally through her 2014 workshop and even co-created the first belly dance shoes with Capézio Brazil.

In so many films like WALUD (2025), which depicts the life of an ISIS fighter and his relationship with his two wives, the women are given very little agency. They have things happen to them and deal with the consequences rather than decide their own story. WALUD isn't that type of film.It's the work of co-directors Louise Zenker and Daood Alabdulaa, film students who made a visually stunning and culturally relevant film about unexplored lives. If there's justice in the world, we'll see it nominated for an Academy Award. Streaming soon in Germany, the rest of us will have to wait to watch, but trust me, it's worth it. I'm looking forward to what Louise and Daood work on next.In this episode, we discuss:what filmmaking is like in Syria now (WALUD was set there but filmed in Tunisia);how they got started in filmmaking;the challenges and benefits from co-directing;how they developed the story of WALUD;how they want the audience to feel while watching the film;the dilemma that the women depicted in the film wouldn't be able to watch the film in Syria;what stories are out there that need to be told from a Syrian perspective -- more comedy!;the role of new film festivals in the Middle East;documentary v. narrative filmmaking and how they choose what to do;what they would have differently for the film;when you could expect to watch WALUD (Germany -- you're in luck!);its chances at the Oscars and the unique qualities of the film;what's next for them and when you can expect to watch WALUD.Louise's Indie Film Highlight: SHAHID (2024) dir. by Narges KalhorDaood's Indie Film Highlight: WHO DO I BELONG TO (2024) dir. by Meryam JoobeurMemorable Quotes:"There was this whole topic about fertility and having kids and what does it mean to be a woman in a patriarchal society?""These women have agency and they are strong characters that stand tall.""A lot of the dramatic stories are more of a cry for visibility as well to just try and get the world to look at what is happening because the world needs to look at what is happening."Links:Follow WALUD On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

A historic medal haul rarely happens by accident. We unpack how Brazil engineered four finalists and two world titles through clear planning, ruthless scouting, and conditioning that didn't fade in the final minute. Maria's long-awaited women's world crown set the tone; Enrike's rise from a turbulent home environment to world champion showed what happens when talent meets structure and belief. The thread through each story is the same: know the bracket, know yourself, and perform when it counts.We also face the tougher side of the sport: when a program with resources under-delivers. The U.S. finished 20th and still blasted “dominance” in a newsletter. That disconnect matters. We talk about the decisions behind the scenes—who sits in the chair, how prep camps are run, how personal coaches and national staff are used, and why accountability at the top shapes everything on the mat. If athletes are judged by results, leadership should be too. Culture isn't hashtags in the holding area; it's what you do under pressure and how you represent your teammates when the cameras aren't rolling.Rules and tech didn't help. Referees were told to “let them fight,” but holding went unpunished and video review for head shots disappeared, returning power to inconsistent judgment. That's not modernizing; that's muddling. We dig into what fair, watchable Taekwondo should reward and why development pathways must stay open—especially as champions skew younger. Tunisia and Iran offered bright examples of pipelines that translate fast to the senior podium.If you care about high performance, athlete-first systems, and a sport that looks like Taekwondo again, this one is a must-listen. Subscribe, share with a coach or teammate, and leave a review with the one change you'd implement tomorrow.
This week on Select, we tap into the raw energy of Tunisia's underground scene with XZ5000. The Swiss-based DJ and producer's sets are notorious for being abrasive and unexpected, weaving gritty textures with playful grooves that keep the dancefloor on all toes from start to finish. In this mix, XZ5000 spins a genre-hopping mix that kicks off with slow-burning ambient soundscape before unravelling into a labyrinth of jagged percussion, warped techno patterns and trance-flecked basslines, embellished with broken rhythms and noise textures. The set features a selection of eclectic tunes, such as Felix Fleer's ‘Eden Prime', Isabel Soto and Kevin Ferhati's ‘Wildflower' and Chlär's ‘Cipe Ortni'.

We start with headlines from Starbucks, Amazon, MIT, Ohio University, Harvard, UPS, Fairfax County, Allina Healthcare and Tunisia. In a possible major shift, Saudi Arabia announced the end to their system of contract slave labor known as the Kafala system, we discuss how that may play out in reality. A recent piece from In These Times spoke with unionized workers at Reuters in British Columbia who are fighting their employer's collaboration with ICE. Over 100,000 workers launched a mass strike in New Zealand against austerity policies crushing the country's education and healthcare sectors. Finally, Capital and Main put out an excellent report this week on efforts by workers at dollar stores in Louisiana to organize for better pay and conditions outside the usual NLRB process, and how that might be replicated elsewhere.

As the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet has witnessed and reported on some of the most consequential events of our time. She has reported from Afghanistan since 1988, during the Soviet troop withdrawal, played a leading role in the BBC's coverage of the Arab Spring uprisings reporting from Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria, and has covered major wars as well as efforts to make peace in the Middle East since 1994. In 2022 she covered the Russian invasion of Ukraine live from Kyiv as Putin's tanks crossed the border. Most recently she reported from Tehran in the aftermath of Israel's bombing of Iran. Doucet is renowned for her compassionate, human-centred reporting often in times of war and suffering. In October 2025 she came to the Intelligence Squared stage to share her reflections and insights from four decades on the frontlines. In conversation with fellow broadcaster Lindsey Hilsum, the International Editor for Channel 4 News who has also reported from frontlines of our time, Doucet also discussed the themes and approach of her new book, The Finest Hotel in Kabul, a vivid history of Afghanistan as seen from the iconic Inter-Continental Hotel. Drawing on years of interviews with its staff and guests, the book traces the country's tumultuous history – from the Soviet withdrawal and civil war to the US invasion and the return of the Taliban – through the prism of this landmark hotel and the lives of the staff who kept it running during war and peace. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Greg Jenner is joined in ancient North Africa by classicist Professor Josephine Quinn and comedian Darren Harriott to learn about Hannibal of Carthage and his war with Rome. Located in modern-day Tunisia, Carthage was once a Mediterranean superpower that rivalled Rome. In 218 BCE, the Second Punic War began between the two powers, with the Carthaginian army led by a man named Hannibal Barca. Famously, Hannibal took his forces – including a contingent of war elephants – over the Alps and into Italy, finally marching on Rome itself. But eventually the Carthaginians were beaten back, and Hannibal ended his days in exile. In this episode we explore his epic life, from his childhood in Spain, to his tactical brilliance as a general, to his post-war career as a reformist politician. If you're a fan of ancient Rome, genius generals and new developments in classical history, you'll love our episode on Hannibal of Carthage. If you want more from Darren Harriott, check out our episode on Victorian Bodybuilding. Or for more plucky generals, listen to our episodes on Joan of Arc, Julius Caesar or Robert Bruce. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.

Tommy & Ben react to Israel's shocking strike on Hamas leadership in Qatar. They cover how this closes the door on ceasefire negotiations, how the attacks humiliate the Arab world and make normalization in the region next to impossible, and the Trump administration's incoherent response. They also discuss the alleged Israeli bombing of a humanitarian aid flotilla in Tunisia, the horrific terrorist attack in Jerusalem, and Spain's roadmap for opposing what's happening in Gaza. Also covered: Keir Starmer's misguided cabinet reshuffle in the UK, French President Emmanuel Macron's chronic inability to hold onto a prime minister, what protest movements in Nepal and Indonesia say about the state of the world, and the ongoing threat of a US war with Venezuela. Then, Ben speaks with Susan Rice, national security advisor and UN ambassador under Obama, about the redirection and weaponization of the military under Trump, how this administration's foreign policy is pushing our allies into our adversaries' arms, and the “brazen violation of international law” that is Israel's attack on Qatar.
